On Monday, they had a Jesus Birthday Party where they decorated cookies for snack and did a book exchange.

Cate and I went to celebrate with them. Cate was most interested in the baby dolls and the kitchen set up! She screamed when we told her it was time to go.

Cole also gave me a cute canvas that they had been working on during their art time.

Then on Thursday, he had his Christmas program. Tony, Cate, and I came to watch his show. They did a nativity play where Cole was one of the shepherds.

He had one line and did great with it! He was nice and loud and you could actually understand what he said. Then they sang quite a few songs with motions and dancing. It was super cute! We can't wait to watch it again on our DVD!

We took Cole and Cate to visit Santa last weekend at our neighborhood event like we've done in all of our past visits.

Cole loved it and went right to Santa to ask for the Batcave and transforming Batmobile.

We talked to Cate about Santa for days and had her saying she would sit on his lap with Cole. Cate has a real aversion to men, so we would be shocked if this actually happened. We were right and she did NOT want to even get close to Santa. She dug her heels into the ground and started crying. It took a lot of convincing to even let me hold her to take this picture.

She did like the donuts!

Snowmen!

Cole was excited because we saw one of his friends from school too. They talked and played for a little bit and had a fun time together.

Elf Sally has visited every morning since and sometimes brings candy. We don't really respect the no touching rule for poor Sally. Cate likes to carry her around in the mornings and give her some hugs. :)

The rest of our Thanksgiving guests left on Sunday morning, so we decided to chance it with the rain and go get our Christmas tree.

This was probably our fastest visit to the tree farm on record. We picked out our tree, took a few pics, and left to take our tree home.

The tree was a little wet by the time we got home, but we just let it dry a little bit before we set it up. It worked out just fine, and we were glad we didn't have to wait until the following weekend.
